Notes for MARTHA PATTY DYER:
Patty and Margaret Dyer are older in Carol Middleton's website, but I know the ages of his wife
Patty Dyer's age should be, if she's still alive in 1830 20-30, which puts her born 1800-1810, he has a son born 1820-1825, and two daughters also born that time frame, and one born 1825-1830....that would make Patty born closer to 1800..

Notes for ELIZABETH RANDON:
According to Charles Weatherford, this isn't Elizabeth Dyer but Elizabeth Randon, a young girl rescued from the massacre of fort mim's by Susan Stiggin's...however, Alger Newman claims his wife was an heir of Mary Dyer's land claim, which was of Creek origin, and that she was entitled to 1/3 of the claim. By my reckoning, the heirs of Mary Dyer would be, Patty, Margaret and Elizabeth...
found this about the family...
Churchill Roberts married Natura Elizabeth Newman in 1865. She was the daughter of James Alger Newman & Elizabeth Randon who was a daughter John Randon, a half blood Creek Indian and Natura Elizabeth Dyer half Creek and half French, which made Elizabeth half Creek indian.
After the death of Church, Natura married William Throckmorton. In 1889, Natura with her husband and children moved to Oklahoma to claim her Indian lands. She and her family are listed on the Creek rolls as:
#2066 - Enrolled August 2, 1899
Natura E. Throckmorton, 54, fem, Blood 1/2
Father: Alger Newman, dead, non-Creek
Mother: Elizabeth Newman, dead, Creek
#1708 - Enrolled June 23, 1899
William J. Roberts, 32, male, 1/4 Creek
Father: Church Roberts, dead, non Creek
Mother: Natura E. Throckmorton, liv. 1/2 Creek
#1709 - Maud Roberts, 6, Blood 1/8
Father: William J. Roberts, liv. Creek
Mother: Annie Roberts, liv. non-Creek
Edward L. Roberts, 1, male, same as above
James W. Throckmorton, 23, male 1/4 Creek
The town of Natura , Oklahoma is named for Natura and her family. It sets on the lands given them. William Throckmorton and William J Roberts owned and operated and store, butcher shop and harness shop. The community grew up around them.
Could this be the story behind our supposed "Indian" blood? Or could it be that our Eliza McGee, like Natura's mother & grandparents, just carry a "white" name. It does prove that there was no Indian blood on our Pryor line. If Church Roberts had had any Indian blood. William J. Roberts, his son, would have claimed it to increase his share of land.
